This past weekend, by God’s grace, we served our very first meal to the children and families of Beardsley School. What unfolded was more than a meal; it was a beginning. Orthodox Christians from different parishes stood side by side, many meeting for the first time, preparing food, blowing up balloons, and learning one another’s names.

Position available: Associate Director of Operations, FOCUS North America – Full time Location: FOCUS North America (Remote) Timeframe: Immediate   FOCUS North America is searching

FOCUS North America is grateful to be taking meaningful steps toward establishing new Centers in two communities—each grounded in prayer, collaboration, and local leadership. This winter, Orthodox Christians from across the country came together to officially launch the Exploratory Committee process in both the DMV and San Diego areas, marking an important first step in discerning how FOCUS can best serve neighbors in need in these regions.

FOCUS North America’s mission of serving Christ in our neighbor continues to draw attention beyond our own community. In a recent interview with The National Herald, Executive Director Steven Christoforou reflects on the heart of FOCUS’s work—hospitality, dignity, and relationship—and how this mission is lived out through Centers across the country. The conversation offers insight into the vision behind FOCUS, the growing needs of the communities we serve, and what it means to make Christ’s love visible through service today.

As FOCUS North America continues to grow, so too does the team called to support our mission of serving Christ in our neighbor. We are grateful to welcome four new leaders whose experience, faith, and commitment to service will strengthen our Centers and national operations in meaningful ways.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God the Father, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all.
